WPCNR ROVING PHOTOGRAPHER. May 16, 2007: Chairman of the Board of Legislators William Ryan delivered a splendid and moving apology to the Ministers Fellowship Council of White Plains & Vicinity in the shadow of the new statue of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Tuesday, for the county's "oversight" in not officially inviting the ministers to the  Westchester County original unveiling of the statue which featured many celebrities and politicians. The Ministers gracefully accepted Mr. Ryan's remarks on behalf of the county and announced a Celebration of the Life and Legend of Dr. Martin Luther King to take place June 16, Saturday at 12 noon, details forthcoming. Ryan said it was a time to heal, that he regretted the oversight, that no hurt was intended, that it was just a mistake. He did not say what County Department made the blunder, though the county has an extremely professional and prolific and well-paid Department of Communications, (where's Thompson & Bender when you need them?)  and he personally took the blame for the "oversight."
